According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Microchip promised hundreds of millions in savings and synergies based on its acquisition of Microsemi Corp. Despite those promises, the Company disclosed on August 9, 2018, that its due diligence of Microsemi was insufficient. Based on this news, shares of Microchip fell almost 11% on August 10, 2018. When the market learned the truth about Microchip, investors suffered damages.
